Console Panel

The Console panel shows internal diagnostic output from WSi, including script execution logs and system-level events. It is primarily used for debugging and by WSoptics support.

The Console panel provides an interactive command-line interface for running backend scripts and inspecting internal state. It is intended for advanced users and developers who need to diagnose issues, run custom processing steps, or explore the project data programmatically.

Layout

The console is split into two areas:

• Output area — a scrollable text view that displays the results of commands and system messages.
• Input area — a text field where you type commands. Press Enter to execute the current command.

Running Commands

Type a script command into the input area and press Enter to run it. The result appears in the output area. You can navigate through previous commands using the Up and Down arrow keys.

Syntax Highlighting

Both the input and output areas use syntax highlighting to make it easier to read commands and results.

Relationship to Other Panels

The Console panel is tabbed together on the right side with Messages, Details, and Cost Analysis — click a tab to switch between them.

By default, the Console panel is hidden. You can show it from the Window menu.
